Overview. In contemporary international relations there are two interrelated trends - globalization and fragmentation. Regions are looking for the best options to meet the challenges of globalization. Regionalism has become a central feature of global politics. Regional arrangements challenge the centrality of states in international relations, they give rise to new forms of transnational governance and to varying extents they constitute a response to globalization.Today we see the proliferation of regionalisms of different types. World hegemons, regional powers are shaping regionalization processes in different regions. Eurasian Region is not exception in this process; there are many regional organizations in this region. Nevertheless the process of regionalization is still going on and in nearest future could take new forms.The newly independent states after the collapse of the Soviet Union began to search for ways to regional integration. The post-Soviet regionalism is today a number of regional organizations, but we can say that the processes of regionalization are not over yet and are still continuing. Post-Soviet Eurasia is now a complex mega-region, where the number of processes and interests both intra and external actors are crossing. The course focuses on the critical analysis of the processes of regionalization and regionalism in Eurasia.
